"I was just in awe," Cibrian tells PEOPLE of seeing his bride in her Reem Acra dress
LeAnn Rimes and Eddie Cibrian bucked tradition.
They got ready together on their wedding day, sipped champagne and jammed to Sir Mix-a-Lot’s “Baby Got Back” before their 35 guests arrived for their surprise nuptials Friday night.
But to keep a hint of mystery, Rimes slipped away to another room when the time came to put on her wedding dress – a handmade Reem Acra gown accessorized with sparkling jewelry.
“I was just in awe,” Ermenegildo Zegna- clad Cibrian, 37, tells PEOPLE of seeing Rimes in her dress for the first time.
